the lead balloon

Remember me when you fall on your knees
when you take heart to all the words its to late to heed
try not to take it too hard when you come to the conclusion
that i was the real thing not a manchild's illusion

Remember the love i so carfully gave
and how scared i was to trust when i did anyway
read the letters that i wrote that exclaimed every sense
and spoke about the past that you fixed with your presense

Remember how i traced you with my finger tips
I memorized your arms, fingers, and lips
I promised that no matter what I would never forget
this was the truth, I never did

Remember holding me on sunday afternoons
you never had to but always left too soon
never as important as i should have been
taking for granted your piece of heaven

Remember, remember, remember though I know it's hard
heartache is never easy when the transgressor is at large
So hang your head in shame as you face your charge
I would hold your hand but i cant reach that far

Remember I still love you though it's probably moot
I'd still take your name though you'd say it's too soon
I would still forgive you, though you don't know why you're wrong
I guess waiting forever won't take too long
